Subject : Images effects in MR
Hi everyone. 


I was wondering how to apply an custom image effects ( like the one in XSI ) within mental ray. 
I mean applying an effect before to use the texture on my shader. 
Typically I would like to apply a diffuse convolution on my environment map but I need to do it outside XSI ( via HDRshop ). 
That's why I would to have a node for it. 

Is there any direction where I can have a look ? I don't know how mr handle image loading and how I can apply an effect in image's raster space.  


The others option is to use Fxtree and make a plugin for it.
But last time I checked when you load a HDR image the fxtree seems to apply a gamma correction. I would like to keep it linear and of course in float depth. 
So I am a bit stuck here. 

Any ideas ?
